A blend of animation and spiritual storytelling
Mahaprabhu Jagannath is being promoted as a complete family entertainer that combines high-quality animation with Indian cultural and spiritual narratives.

Inspired by the success of Jay Jagannath
The film is produced by Durga Prasad Dalai under the banner of Ele Animations Pvt Ltd.
The production house previously found success with the animated series Jay Jagannath, which gained popularity among audiences and attracted millions of viewers during its run on television.
Building on the success of the series, the company is now taking the story to the big screen with a significantly larger scale and reach.

Speaking about the project, producer and creative head Durga Prasad Dalai described the meeting with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as a deeply humbling experience for the entire team.
He stated that Mahaprabhu Jagannath represents the first chapter of the studio’s larger vision called the “Sanatan Universe”, an interconnected storytelling platform focused on bringing Indian spiritual and cultural narratives to global audiences.
According to Dalai, the project is intended to showcase India’s rich mythological heritage through modern animation and cinematic storytelling.
